Bulletin November 29, 2015

Welcome to Fr. Juvenal! Archimandrite Juvenal Repass is a priest and monastic of the Diocese of Alaska, Orthodox Church in America. He was Fr. Justin’s confessor when he was a student at St. Tikhon’s Seminary. After teaching at St Herman’s Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska for six years, and with the blessing of Bishop David, Fr. Juvenal has discerned a call to bring the message of holy Orthodoxy to lands and peoples that have not yet heard that saving message. As a missionary candidate with OCMC, he is presently engaged in raising the necessary pledges of funds to support this endeavor. Please help those who may benefit from his future mission work, by your prayers, and, if God directs you, with your pledges. You can read more of Fr. Juvenal’s interesting biography at the OCMC website: http://www.ocmc.org/about/view_missionary.aspx?MissionaryId=43
